The room was was large and clean. Although advertised breakfast was not offered. Outside of building could use some work, and windows definitely could be cleaned. Hallway had a musty odor but the rooms were okay. Solid value for the price.

The employee who checked us in and out was kind and did fine. It was the room and surrounding area. Didn’t feel like it was a safe place. The front desk has glass/ plastic shield. Hallways and stair were dirty. Windows were screwed shut. Just wasn’t a good stay.

The Wi-Fi was a bit meh - at 2pm, rideshare apps wouldn't work, so I just started walking to my destination until I found a connection. When I got back from the concert I had no problems using my phone for videos or watching livestreams. Could have just been heavy usage when I got there at 2? I had an upstairs room with a king bed, it was spacious and clean, love a microwave & glass shower doors! The picture quality on the TV was low, but fine for backgrounds ambiance. I wasn't given any instructions on how to check out, and they don't have a Dropbox for key cards. The lobby was locked, around 8am when I left, so I had to buzz them for service. Not an issue at all, just something to note. I'd stay here again if I was in the area.
